► Insert x-ray cassette (format 43×35 cm (16.93 in. x 13.78
in.)) in the horozontal position.
► Insert back x-ray cassette holder with x-ray cassette so that
the cassette centre indicator is exactly under the edge of the mattress
support platform.
► Correct position of x-ray cassette holder using the tooth me-
chanism so that the upper edge of the x-ray cassette is exactly under
the patient’s shoulder line. For the correct orientation use the scale on
the label. Indicate the position of the patient´s shoulder line using the
numbers on the scale. Move the x-ray cassette holder in such position
so that the centre of the handrail is on the respective scale number.

17.9 X-Ray Lung Examination
The Backrest of the bed consists of HPL and is x-ray translucent. The bed is equipped with an x-ray cassette holder inseted under
the Backrest left side. This design allows taking x-ray images of the patient’s lungs without moving the patient manually.
NOTE This procedure is above all suitable for patients who cannot be moved due to critical conditions (e. g. internal bleeding) or
unstable patients.
